Video : Paul McCartney talks about Elvis Presley backstage in Memphis

Here we have a video of Paul McCartney backstage during his recent concert in Memphis talking about seeing Elvis on the big screen for the first time ['Love Me Tender'] and he even breaks out his own Elvis moves and sings a few lines of We're Gonna Move, all impromptu and amazingly similar to the full studio audio outtake we brought to you recently in our Elvis Presley MP3 Audio'Paul McCartney visits Graceland' news article. This again shows Paul's love of Elvis, the influence Elvis had on him, and his amazing knowledge of even Elvis lesser known songs.

Elvis : City Of lakes '76 CD

From the Verve label comes the release, Elvis : City Of lakes '76 recorded live on October 17, 1976 in Minneapolis. This concert was released by FTD as 'A Minnesota Moment', however 'Verve' say, 'Unfortunately the original release from FTD left a lot to be desired'. 'It sounded flat, muffled, lifeless and very hissy. The sound quality was disappointing as was the 'artwork' which showed on top an outrageous bad done Photoshop job with Elvis' left hand'. The VERVE Team say they have done 'everything to improve the overall sound and as a result you'll get to hear a soundboard recording that should have sounded in the first place'. 'Now you can hear the show for the first time in the best possible sound quality'. 'Hopefully you can enjoy the concert now as much as we do while reading and flipping the sixteen pages of the booklet'.

Review: Elvis : Peace In The Valley (The Complete Gospel Recordings)

Elvis : Peace In The Valley (The Complete Gospel Recordings) is a long overdue triple CD release. In 1994 we were treated to the excellent double album 'Amazing Grace' and more recently to a number of good (if forgettable) mid-price gospel albums. This set is a fitting testament to an often under-appreciated segment of Elvis' incredible musical legacy. Many fans will be surprised at the breadth of tracks on this release.

Paul McCartney visits Graceland

On Sunday, May 26, 2013 Paul McCartney dropped by Graceland to pay tribute to Elvis Presley. In his first ever visit to Elvis' home, McCartney was given a tour of Graceland during which he was offered a rare glimpse inside the Graceland Archives. To maintain the integrity of Elvis' instruments, the archive staff regularly tuned them. So who better to tune Elvis' guitar than the song-writing legend. McCartney briefly played Elvis' 1956 Gibson J200 guitar while humming the famous Elvis tune Loving You. [Paul owns Bill Blacks Upright Bass].
Elvis Presley MP3 Audio Below you can listen to Paul singing Loving You recorded at the time of his 1973 TV Special, during the acoustic bit they filmed although the song was edited out, the same for We're Gonna Move.)
